The southbound Highway 101 offramp at Santa Barbara Road will be closed for two weeks starting Sunday night at 9 p.m. for paving work, according to Caltrans.

The southbound onramp at Highway 101 and Santa Barbara Road has been closed this week for paving and is expected to reopen in about two weeks, the agency said in a news release.

The northbound onramps and offramps at that location remain open.

The closures are part of a Highway 101 Atascadero Rehabilitation Project, which includes repaving of 11 miles of the highway from north of the Cuesta Grade to Traffic Way.

The contractor for the $25 million project is Papich Construction Co. Inc. of Pismo Beach. It is expected to be complete in early 2013.
